报告题目:基于生成式AI的城市模拟器

报告摘要:
在城市快速发展的过程中,各地都在探索运用现代化的信息技术手段来解决产生的问题和挑战。然而,目前已有的解决方案主要集中在信息整合和数据分析方面,无法满足城市治理中最关键的决策需求。具体而言,目前缺乏对决策效果的验证基础,也缺乏能够持续高效优化决策的解决方案。这些问题给城市治理带来了全新的挑战。城市孪生模拟引擎可以基于城市信息化基础设施所感知到的数据,对城市进行镜像建模,还原城市的历史运行情况,并预测未来的发展趋势。因此,城市孪生引擎为城市治理提供了一个决策验证的平台。本报告将主要讨论如何利用人工智能生成算法实现智能城市模拟。通过利用大规模城市感知数据和数据与知识联合驱动的生成算法,我们可以对城市复杂的交通和人流系统进行智能模拟。基于建立模拟的孪生人流系统,进一步建立城市复杂系统的基础模型,模拟城市的物理和社会功能要素之间的时空关系和流通网络,包括建筑、道路、人员、车辆、通信、电力、交通和供水等。城市孪生模拟平台可以全面分析和优化城市系统的各个方面,包括交通流量、通信网络、基础设施规划、公共交通规划等,为合理规划城市生产、生活和生态空间提供基础性智能平台,为政府、企业部门的决策与政策制定提供数据与平台支撑。

报告题目:Understanding the Mechanism of Through-Wall Wireless Sensing: A Model-based Perspective

论坛讲者:张化磊,王柱,孙卓,宋文超,任智慧,於志文,郭斌

出处:Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies

报告摘要:During the last few years, there is a growing interest on the usage of Wi-Fi signals for human activity detection. A large number of Wi-Fi based sensing systems have been developed, including respiration detection, gesture classification, identity recognition, etc. However, the usability and robustness of such systems are still limited, due to the complexity of practical environments. Various pioneering approaches have been proposed to solve this problem, among which the model-based approach is attracting more and more attention, due to the advantage that it does not require a huge dataset for model training. Existing models are usually developed for Line-of-Sight (LoS) scenarios, and can not be applied to facilitating the design of wireless sensing systems in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) scenarios (e.g., through-wall sensing). To fill this gap, we propose a through-wall wireless sensing model, aiming to characterize the propagation laws and sensing mechanisms of Wi-Fi signals in through-wall scenarios. Specifically, based on the insight that Wi-Fi signals will be refracted while there is a wall between the transceivers, we develop a refraction-aware Fresnel model, and prove theoretically that the original Fresnel model can be seen as a special case of the proposed model. We find that the presence of a wall will change the distribution of Fresnel zones, which we called the "squeeze effect" of Fresnel zones. Moreover, our theoretical analysis indicates that the "squeeze effect" can help improve the sensing capability (i.e., spatial resolution) of Wi-Fi signals. To validate the proposed model, we implement a through-wall respiration sensing system with a pair of transceivers. Extensive experiments in typical through-wall environments show that the respiration detection error is lower than 0.5 bpm, while the subject's vertical distance to the connection line of the transceivers is less than 200 cm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first theoretical model that reveals the Wi-Fi based wireless sensing mechanism in through-wall scenarios.

报告题目:HearFire: Indoor Fire Detection via Inaudible Acoustic Sensing

论坛讲者:王征,王砚文,田蜜,沈家星

出处:Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies

报告摘要:Indoor conflagration causes a large number of casualties and property losses worldwide every year. Yet existing indoor fire detection systems either suffer from short sensing range (e.g., ≤ 0.5m using a thermometer), susceptible to interferences (e.g., smoke detector) or high computational and deployment overhead (e.g., cameras, Wi-Fi). This paper proposes HearFire, a cost-effective, easy-to-use and timely room-scale fire detection system via acoustic sensing. HearFire consists of a collocated commodity speaker and microphone pair, which remotely senses fire by emitting inaudible sound waves. Unlike existing works that use signal reflection effect to fulfill acoustic sensing tasks, HearFire leverages sound absorption and sound speed variations to sense the fire due to unique physical properties of flame. Through a deep analysis of sound transmission, HearFire effectively achieves room-scale sensing by correlating the relationship between the transmission signal length and sensing distance. The transmission frame is carefully selected to expand sensing range and balance a series of practical factors that impact the system's performance. We further design a simple yet effective approach to remove the environmental interference caused by signal reflection by conducting a deep investigation into channel differences between sound reflection and sound absorption. Specifically, sound reflection results in a much more stable pattern in terms of signal energy than sound absorption, which can be exploited to differentiate the channel measurements caused by fire from other interferences. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HireFire enables a maximum 7m sensing range and achieves timely fire detection in indoor environments with up to 99.2% accuracy under different experiment configurations.

出处:20th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation, 2023

报告摘要:Acoustic sensing is increasingly popular owing to widely available devices that support them. Yet the sensing resolution and range are still limited due to limited bandwidth and sharp decay in the signal at inaudible frequencies. Inspired by recent development in acoustic metasurfaces, in this paper, we first perform an in-depth study of acoustic metasurface (AMS) and compare it with the phased array speaker. Our results show that AMS is attractive as it achieves a significant SNR increase while maintaining a compact size. A major limitation of existing AMS is its static configuration. Since our target may be at any possible location, it is important to support scanning in different directions. We develop a novel acoustic system that leverages a metasurface and a small number of speakers. We jointly optimize the configuration of metasurface and transmission signals from the speakers to achieve low-cost dynamic steering. Using a prototype implementation and extensive evaluation, we demonstrate its effectiveness in improving SNR, acoustic sensing accuracy, and acoustic communication reliability over a wide range of scenarios.

报告题目:Towards a Dynamic Inter-Sensor Correlations Learning Framework for Multi-Sensor-Based Wearable Human Activity Recognition

论坛讲者:缪盛欢,陈岭,胡容,罗映淞

出处:Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies

报告摘要:Multi-sensor-based wearable human activity recognition (WHAR) is a research hotspot in the field of ubiquitous computing. Extracting effective features from multi-sensor data is essential to improve the performance of activity recognition. Despite the excellent achievements of previous works, the challenge remains for modelling the dynamic correlations between sensors. In this paper, we propose a lightweight yet efficient GCN-based dynamic inter-sensor correlations learning framework called DynamicWHAR for automatically learning the dynamic correlations between sensors. DynamicWHAR is mainly composed of two modules: Initial Feature Extraction and Dynamic Information Interaction. Firstly, Initial Feature Extraction module performs data-to-feature transformation to extract the initial features of each sensor. Subsequently, Dynamic Information Interaction module explicitly models the specific interaction intensity between any two sensors, and performs dynamic information aggregation between sensors by the learned interaction intensity. Extensive experiments on four diverse WHAR datasets and two different resource-constrained devices validate that DynamicWHAR outperforms the SOTA models in both recognition performance and computational complexity.

论坛讲者:Xuanzhi Wang,Niu Kai,Anlan Yu,Jie Xiong,Zhiyun Yao,Junzhe Wang,Wenwei Li,Daqing Zhang

出处:Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies

报告摘要:In the past few years, a large range of wireless signals such as WiFi, RFID, UWB and Millimeter Wave were utilized for sensing purposes. Among these wireless sensing modalities, WiFi sensing attracts a lot of attention owing to the pervasiveness of WiFi infrastructure in our surrounding environments. While WiFi sensing has achieved a great success in capturing the target's motion information ranging from coarse-grained activities and gestures to fine-grained vital signs, it still has difficulties in precisely obtaining the target size owing to the low frequency and small bandwidth of WiFi signals. Even Millimeter Wave radar can only achieve a very coarse-grained size measurement. High precision object size sensing requires using RF signals in the extremely high-frequency band (e.g., Terahertz band). In this paper, we utilize low-frequency WiFi signals to achieve accurate object size measurement without requiring any learning or training. The key insight is that when an object moves between a pair of WiFi transceivers, the WiFi CSI variations contain singular points (i.e., singularities) and we observe an exciting opportunity of employing the number of singularities to measure the object size. In this work, we model the relationship between the object size and the number of singularities when an object moves near the LoS path, which lays the theoretical foundation for the proposed system to work. By addressing multiple challenges, for the first time, we make WiFi-based object size measurement work on commodity WiFi cards and achieve a surprisingly low median error of 2.6 mm. We believe this work is an important missing piece of WiFi sensing and opens the door to size measurement using low-cost low-frequency RF signals.

报告题目:LT-Fall: The Design and Implementation of a Life-threatening Fall Detection and Alarming System

论坛讲者:张舵,张旭升,李晟洁,谢亚雄,李洋,王炫之,张大庆

出处:Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies

报告摘要:Falls are the leading cause of fatal injuries to elders in modern society, which has motivated researchers to propose various fall detection technologies. We observe that most of the existing fall detection solutions are diverging from the purpose of fall detection: timely alarming the family members, medical staff or first responders to save the life of the human with severe injury caused by fall. Instead, they focus on detecting the behavior of human falls, which does not necessarily mean a human is in real danger. The real critical situation is when a human cannot get up without assistance and is thus lying on the ground after the fall because of losing consciousness or becoming incapacitated due to severe injury. In this paper, we define a life-threatening fall as a behavior that involves a falling down followed by a long-lie of humans on the ground, and for the first time point out that a fall detection system should focus on detecting life-threatening falls instead of detecting any random falls. Accordingly, we design and implement LT-Fall, a mmWave-based life-threatening fall detection and alarming system. LT-Fall detects and reports both fall and fall-like behaviors in the first stage and then identifies life-threatening falls by continuously monitoring the human status after fall in the second stage. We propose a joint spatio-temporal localization technique to detect and locate the micro-motions of the human, which solves the challenge of mmWave's insufficient spatial resolution when the human is static, i.e., lying on the ground. Extensive evaluation on 15 volunteers demonstrates that compared to the state-of-the-art work (92% precision and 94% recall), LT-Fall achieves zero false alarms as well as a precision of 100% and a recall of 98.8%.

报告题目:CamRadar: Hidden Camera Detection Leveraging Amplitude-modulated Sensor Images Embedded in Electromagnetic Emanations

论坛讲者:Ziwei Liu,Feng Lin,Chao Wang,Yijie Shen,Zhongjie Ba,Li Lu,Wenyao Xu

出处:Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies

报告摘要:Hidden cameras in sensitive locations have become an increasing threat to personal privacy all over the world. Because the camera is small and camouflaged, it is difficult to detect the presence of the camera with naked eyes. Existing works on this subject have either only covered using wireless transmission to detect cameras, or using other methods which are cumbersome in practical use. In this paper, we introduce a new direction that leverages the unintentional electromagnetic (EM) emanations of the camera to detect it. We first find that the digital output of the camera's image sensor will be amplitude-modulated to the EM emanations of the camera's clock. Thus, changes in the scope of the camera will directly cause changes in the camera's EM emanations, which constitutes a unique characteristic for a hidden camera. Based on this, we propose a novel camera detection system named CamRadar, which can filter out potential camera EM emanations from numerous EM signals quickly and achieve accurate hidden camera detection. Benefitting from the camera's EM emanations, CamRadar will not be limited by the camera transmission types or the detection angle. Our extensive real-world experiments using CamRadar and 19 hidden cameras show that CamRadar achieves a fast detection (in 16.75s) with a detection rate of 93.23% as well as a low false positive rate of 3.95%.

报告题目:CHAR: Composite Head-body Activities Recognition with A Single Earable Device

论坛讲者:朱培钊,邹永攀,黎文源,伍楷舜

出处:2023 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)

报告摘要:The increasing popularity of earable devices stimulates great academic interest to design novel head gesture-based interaction technologies. But existing works simply consider it as a singular activity recognition problem. This is not in line with practice since users may have different body movements such as walking and jogging along with head gestures. It is also beneficial to recognize body movements during human-device interaction since it provides useful context information. As a result, it is significant to recognize such composite activities in which actions of different body parts happen simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a system called CHAR to recognize composite head-body activities with a single IMU sensor. The key idea of our solution is to make use of the inter-correlation of different activities and design a multi-task learning network to extract shared and specific representations. We implement a real-time prototype and conduct extensive experiments to evaluate it. The results show that CHAR can recognize 60 kinds of composite activities (12 head gestures and 5 body movements) with high accuracies of 97.0% and 89.7% in user- dependent and independent cases, respectively.

报告摘要:Human sensing and understanding is a key requirement for many intelligent systems, such as smart monitoring, human-computer interaction, and activity analysis, etc. In this paper, we present mmParse, the first human parsing design for dynamic point cloud from commercial millimeter-wave radar devices. mmParse proposes an end-to-end neural network design that addresses the inherent challenges in parsing mmWave point cloud (e.g., sparsity and specular reflection). First, we design a novel multi-task learning approach, in which an auxiliary task can guide the network to understand human structural features. Secondly, we introduce a multi-task feature fusion method that incorporates both intra-task and inter-task attention to aggregate spatio-temporal features of the subject from a global view. Through extensive experiments in both indoor and outdoor environments, we demonstrate that our proposed system is able to achieve ~ 92% accuracy and ~ 84% IoU accuracy. We also show that the predicted semantic labels can increase the performance of two downstream tasks (pose estimation and action recognition) by ~ 18% and ~ 6% respectively.

报告摘要:Human identification is a key requirement for many applications in everyday life, such as personalized services, automatic surveillance, continuous authentication, and contact tracing during pandemics, etc. This work studies the problem of cross-modal human re-identification (ReID), in response to the regular human movements across camera-allowed regions (e.g., streets) and camera-restricted regions (e.g., offices) deployed with heterogeneous sensors. By leveraging the emerging low-cost RGB-D cameras and mmWave radars, we propose the first-of-its-kind vision-RF system for cross-modal multi-person ReID at the same time. Firstly, to address the fundamental inter-modality discrepancy, we propose a novel signature synthesis algorithm based on the observed specular reflection model of a human body. Secondly, an effective cross-modal deep metric learning model is introduced to deal with interference caused by unsynchronized data across radars and cameras. Through extensive experiments in both indoor and outdoor environments, we demonstrate that our proposed system is able to achieve ~ 92.5% top-1 accuracy and ~ 97.5% top-5 accuracy out of 56 volunteers. We also show that our proposed system is able to robustly reidentify subjects even when multiple subjects are present in the sensors' field of view.

报告摘要:RF sensing has been actively exploited in the past few years to enable novel IoT applications. Among different wireless technologies, WiFi-based sensing is most popular owing to the pervasiveness of WiFi infrastructure. However, one critical issue associated with WiFi sensing is that the information required for sensing can not be obtained from consumer-level devices such as smartphones or smart watches. The commonly-seen WiFi devices in our everyday lives actually can not be utilized for sensing. Instead, dedicated hardware with a specific WiFi card (e.g., Intel 5300) needs to be used for WiFi sensing. This paper involves Ultra-Wideband (UWB) into the ecosystem of RF sensing and makes RF sensing work on consumer-level hardware such as smartphones and smart watches for the first time. We propose a series of methods to realize UWB sensing on consumer-level electronics without any hardware modification. By leveraging fine-grained human respiration monitoring as the application example, we demonstrate that the achieved performance on consumer-level electronics is comparable to that achieved using dedicated UWB hardware. We show that UWB sensing hosted on consumer-level electronics is able to achieve fine granularity, robustness against interference and also multi-target sensing, pushing RF sensing one step towards real-life adoption.

报告摘要:With the development of wireless sensing, researchers have proposed many contactless vital sign monitoring systems, which can be used to monitor respiration rates, heart rates, cardiac cycles and etc. However, these vital signs are ones of coarse granularity, so they are less helpful in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Considering that electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important evidence base for the diagnoses of CVDs, we propose to generate ECGs from ultra-wideband (UWB) signals in a contactless manner as a fine-grained cardiac monitoring solution. Specifically, we analyze the properties of UWB signals containing heartbeats and respiration, and design two complementary heartbeat signal restoration methods to perfectly recover heartbeat signal variation. To establish the mapping between the mechanical activity of the heart sensed by UWB devices and the electrical activity of the heart recorded in ECGs, we construct a conditional generative adversarial network to encode the mapping between mechanical activity and electrical activity and propose a contrastive learning strategy to reduce the interference from noise in UWB signals. We build the corresponding cardiac monitoring system named RF-ECG and conduct extensive experiments using about 120,000 heartbeats from more than 40 participants. The experimental results show that the ECGs generated by RF-ECG have good performance in both ECG intervals and morphology compared with the ground truth. Moreover, diseases such as tachycardia/bradycardia, sinus arrhythmia, and premature contractions can be diagnosed from the ECGs generated by our RF-ECG.

报告摘要:Nowadays, to realize the intelligent manufacturing in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenarios, novel approaches in computer vision are in great demand to tackle the new challenges in IIoT environment. These approaches, which we call Industrial Vision , are expected to offer customized solutions for intelligent manufacturing in an accurate, time efficient and robust manner. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to industrial vision, called Edge-Eye , to rectify the edge deviation automatically for Irradiated Cross-linked Polyethylene Foam (IXPE) production with millimeter-level accuracy. IXPE has been one of the most commonly used materials in industry. During the production process of IXPE sheets, their edges need keep aligned strictly, otherwise, they could quickly get out of the border of the rolling plate and cause the huge economic loss. We deploy a commercial camera with mobile edge node in front of the IXPE sheet to continuously detect and rectify the edge deviation. Particularly, to handle the complex production environment when extracting the edge of IXPE sheet, we deploy a pair of reference bars with high-contrast colors to efficiently differentiate the sheet edge from the background. Then, we propose a Bi-direction Edge Tracking method to perform the edge detection from both vertical and horizontal aspects. To realize the rectification using mobile edge nodes with limited computing resources, we reduce the cost of computation by extracting the Minimized Region of Interest , i.e., the edge area overlapped with the higher contrast reference bar on both sides. We further design a negative feedback control system with multi-stage feedback regulation mechanism, keeping the edge deviation within millimeter-level . We implemented Edge-Eye on the ARM64 platform and performed evaluation in the practical IXPE production process. The experimental results show that Edge-Eye achieves the average accuracy of 5 mm for the edge deviation rectification, with the average latency of 200 ms for edge deviation detection. During the process of 20-month real deployment for 36 production lines, 66 manpower per day (90% of the overall manpower) has been saved, and the utilization rate of IXPE material increases from 87% to 94%.

报告摘要:In recent years, we have seen efforts made to monitor respiration for multiple users. Existing approaches capture chest movement relying on signals directly reflected from chest or separate breath waves based on breath rate difference between subjects. However, several limitations exist: 1) they may fail when subjects face away from the transceiver or are blocked by obstacles or other subjects; 2) they may fail to separate subjects' breath waves with the same or similar rates (i.e., breath rate difference < 1 bpm); 3) they assume a priori knowledge of number of subjects and cannot adapt to dynamic change of subject number during monitoring. To overcome these limitations, in this paper we propose MultiResp , a multi-user respiration monitoring system using acoustic signal. By fully leveraging the abundant acoustic signals reflected indirectly from subjects' chest, MultiResp can robustly capture chest movement even when they face away from the transceiver or are blocked. By extracting fine-grained breath rate and phase difference between different subjects, MultiResp can separate the breath waves with the same or similar rates and adapt to dynamic change of subject number during monitoring. Extensive experiments show that MultiResp is able to accurately monitor the respiration of multiple users with a median error of 0.3 bpm in various indoor scenarios, however, it fails when the sound pressure is lower than 55 dB or body movement is happening.

报告摘要:Spectrum sensing plays a crucial role in spectrum monitoring and management. However, due to the expensive cost of high-speed ADCs, wideband spectrum sensing is a long-standing challenge. In this paper, we present how to transform Ultra-wideband (UWB) devices into a spectrum sensor which can provide wideband spectrum monitoring at a low cost. Compared with the expensive high-speed ADCs which cost at least hundreds of dollars, a UWB device is only several dollars. As the low-cost UWB technology is not originally designed for spectrum sensing, we address the inherent limitations of low-cost devices such as limited memory, low SPI speed and low accuracy, and show how to obtain spectrum occupancy information from the noisy and spurious UWB channel impulse response. In this paper, we present WISE, which not only can give accurate channel occupancy information, but also can precisely estimate the signal power and bandwidth. WISE can also detect fleeting radar signals. We implement WISE and perform extensive evaluations with both controlled experiments and field tests. Results show that WISE can sense up to 900MHz bandwidth and the power estimation error is less than 3dB. WISE can also accurately detect busy 5G channels. We believe that WISE provides a new paradigm for low-cost wideband spectrum sensing, which is critical for large-scale fine-grained spectrum monitoring.

报告摘要:In recent years, online lending platforms have been becoming attractive for micro-financing and popular in financial industries. However, such online lending platforms face a high risk of failure due to the lack of expertise on borrowers' creditworthness. Thus, risk forecasting is important to avoid economic loss. Detecting loan fraud users in advance is at the heart of risk forecasting. The purpose of fraud user (borrower) detection is to predict whether one user will fail to make required payments in the future. Detecting fraud users depend on historical loan records. However, a large proportion of users lack such information, especially for new users. In this paper, we attempt to detect loan fraud users from cross domain heterogeneous data views, including user attributes, installed app lists, app installation behaviors, and app-in logs, which compensate for the lack of historical loan records. However, it is difficult to effectively fuse the multiple heterogeneous data views. Moreover, some samples miss one or even more data views, increasing the difficulty in fusion. To address the challenges, we propose a novel end-to-end deep multiview learning approach, which encodes heterogeneous data views into homogeneous ones, generates the missing views based on the learned relationship among all the views, and then fuses all the views together to a comprehensive view for identifying fraud users. Our model is evaluated on a real-world large-scale dataset consisting of 401,978 loan records of 228,117 users from January 1, 2019, to September 30, 2019, achieving the state-of-the-art performance.

报告摘要:Role-playing games (RPGs) are one of the most exciting and most rapidly expanding genres of online games. Virtual characters that are not controlled by players, have become an integral part, which helps to advance narratives of RPGs. Believable characters can enhance game engagement and further improve player retention. However, game players easily find that most characters' behaviors are limited and improbable, resulting in a less meaningful game experience. In this work, we propose a framework to model game behaviors to learn behavior patterns of human players. Based on the learned behavior patterns, it generates human-like action sequences that can be used for the design of believable virtual characters in RPGs, so as to enhance game engagement. Specifically, considering the influence of game context in behavior patterns, we integrate game context (players' levels and game classes) with actions together to model behaviors. We propose a long-term memory cell on actions and game context to learn the hidden representations. We also introduce an attention mechanism to measure the contribution of the actions previously performed to the next action. Given only one action, our model can generate action sequences by predicting the succeeding action based on the previously generated actions. The model was evaluated on a real-world data set of over 22 000 players and more than 51 million action logs of an RPG game in 21 days. The results demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance.

报告题目:Multi-Vib: Precise Multi-point Vibration Monitoring Using mmWave Radar

论坛讲者:Yanni Yang,Jiannong Cao

出处:Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies

报告摘要:Vibration measurement is vital for fault diagnosis of structures (e.g., machines and civil structures). Different structure components undergo distinct vibration patterns, which jointly determine the structure's health condition, thus demanding simultaneous multi-point vibration monitoring. Existing solutions deploy multiple accelerometers along with their power supplies or laser vibrometers on the monitored object to measure multi-point vibration, which is inconvenient and costly. Cameras provide a less expensive solution while heavily relying on good lighting conditions. To overcome these limitations, we propose a cost-effective and passive system, called Multi-Vib, for precise multi-point vibration monitoring. Multi-Vib is implemented using a single mmWave radar to remotely and separately sense the vibration displacement of multiple points via signal reflection. However, simultaneously detecting and monitoring multiple points on a single object is a daunting task. This is because most radar signals are scattered away from vibration points due to their tilted locations and shapes by nature, causing an extremely weak reflected signal to the radar. To solve this issue, we dedicatedly design a physical marker placed on the target point, which can force the direction of the reflected signal towards the radar and significantly increase the reflected signal strength. Another practical issue is that the reflected signal from each point endures interferences and noises from the surroundings. Thus, we develop a series of effective signal processing methods to denoise the signal for accurate vibration frequency and displacement estimation. Extensive experimental results show that the average errors in multi-point vibration frequency and displacement estimation are around 0.16Hz and 14μm, respectively.

报告题目:ASR: Efficient and Adaptive Stochastic Resonance for Weak Signal Detection

出处:Proc. of IEEE INFOCOM, 2023

报告摘要:Weak-signal detection underlies a variety of ubiquitous computing applications, such as wireless sensing and machinery fault diagnosis. Stochastic resonance (SR) provides a new way for weak-signal detection by boosting undetectable signals with added white noise. However, existing work has to take a long time to search optimal parameter settings for SR, which cannot fit well some time-critical applications. In this paper, we propose an adaptive SR scheme (ASR) that can amplify the original signal at a low cost in time. The basic idea is that we find that the potential parameter is a key factor that determines the performance of SR. By treating the system as a feedback loop, we can dynamically adjust the potential parameters according to the output signals and make SR happen adaptively. ASR answered two technical questions: how can we evaluate the output signal and how can we tune the potential parameters quickly towards the optimal. In ASR, we first design a spectral-analysis based solution to examine whether SR happens using continuous wavelet transform. After that, we reduce the parameter tuning problem to a constrained non-linear optimization problem and use the sequential quadratic programming to iteratively optimize the potential parameters. We implement ASR and apply it in two ubiquitous computing applications: respiration-rate detection and machinery fault diagnosis. Extensive experiments show that ASR outperforms the state-of-the-art.

报告摘要:Wi-Fi fingerprinting system in the long term suffers from gradually deteriorative localization accuracy, leading to poor user experiences. To keep high accuracy yet at a low cost, we first study long-term variation of access points (APs) and characteristics of their Wi-Fi signals through over-one-year experiments. Motivated by the experimental findings, we then design MTLoc, a Multi-Target domain adaptation network-based Wi-Fi fingerprinting Localization system. As the core, MTDAN (Multi-Target Domain Adaptation Network) model adopts the framework of generative adversarial network to learn time-invariant, time-specific, and location-aware features from the source and target domains. To enhance the alignment among the source and targets, two-level cycle consistency constraints are proposed. Hence, MTDAN is able to transfer location knowledge from the source domain to multiple targets. In addition, domain selection and outlier detection are designed to avoid explosive growth of storage for targets and to limit the impact of random variations of Wi-Fi signals. Extensive experiments are carried out on five datasets collected over two years in various real-world indoor environments with a total area of 8, 350 m2. Experimental results demonstrate that MTLoc retains high localization accuracy with limited storage and training cost in the long term, which significantly outperforms its counterparts. We share our dataset to the community for other researchers to validate our results and conduct further research.

报告摘要:In practice, Wearable Human Activity Recognition (WHAR) models usually face performance degradation on the new user due to user variance. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) becomes the natural solution to cross-user WHAR under annotation scarcity. Existing UDA models usually align samples across domains without differentiation, which ignores the difference among samples. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation model with sample weight learning (SWL-Adapt) for cross-user WHAR. SWL-Adapt calculates sample weights according to the classification loss and domain discrimination loss of each sample with a parameterized network. We introduce the meta-optimization based update rule to learn this network end-to-end, which is guided by meta-classification loss on the selected pseudo-labeled target samples. Therefore, this network can fit a weighting function according to the cross-user WHAR task at hand, which is superior to existing sample differentiation rules fixed for special scenarios. Extensive experiments on three public WHAR datasets demonstrate that SWL-Adapt achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the cross-user WHAR task, outperforming the best baseline by an average of 3.1% and 5.3% in accuracy and macro F1 score, respectively.

报告摘要:The widespread applications of the Hybrid Internet of Things (HIoT) have put forward higher requirements for network reliability. Coverage reliability is one of the important metrics of reliability, and reliable coverage ensures network data perception and transmission to improve the Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper, we define Confident Information Coverage Reliability ( CICR ) based on the Confident Information Coverage Model (CIC), which comprehensively considers sensor multistate, sensor energy, coverage rate, and connectivity robustness to evaluate coverage reliability. Furthermore, a Tensor-based Confident Information Coverage Reliability Algorithm (T-CICR) is proposed based on tensor modeling to evaluate CICR . The algorithm uses a tensor-based Markov model to predict sensor multistate. Three tensors of coverage rate, sensor multistate, and sensor energy are constructed to provide unified representations. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm can significantly improve coverage reliability in terms of duty cycle, coverage rate requirement, sensing range, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) threshold, connectivity robustness requirement, and link reliability.

报告摘要:Faced with the threat of identity leakage during voice data publishing, users are engaged in a privacy-utility dilemma when enjoying the utility of voice services. Existing machine-centric studies employ direct modification or text-based re-synthesis to de-identify users' voices but cause inconsistent audibility for human participants in emerging online communication scenarios, such as virtual meetings. In this paper, we propose a human-centric voice de-identification system, VoiceCloak, which uses adversarial examples to balance the privacy and utility of voice services. Instead of typical additive examples inducing perceivable distortions, we design a novel convolutional adversarial example that modulates perturbations into real-world room impulse responses. Benefiting from this, VoiceCloak could preserve user identity from exposure by Automatic Speaker Identification (ASI), while remaining the voice perceptual quality for non-intrusive de-identification. Moreover, VoiceCloak learns a compact speaker distribution through a conditional variational auto-encoder to synthesize diverse targets on demand. Guided by these pseudo targets, VoiceCloak constructs adversarial examples in an input-specific manner, enabling any-to-any identity transformation for robust de-identification. Experimental results show that VoiceCloak could achieve over 92% and 84% successful de-identification on mainstream ASIs and commercial systems with excellent voiceprint consistency, speech integrity, and audio quality.

报告题目:INCREASE: Inductive Graph Representation Learning for Spatio-Temporal Kriging

论坛讲者:范晓亮,陈龙彪

出处:Proceedings of the ACM Web Conference 2023

报告摘要:Spatio-temporal kriging is an important problem in web and social applications, such as Web or Internet of Things, where things (e.g., sensors) connected into a web often come with spatial and temporal properties. It aims to infer knowledge for (the things at) unobserved locations using the data from (the things at) observed locations during a given time period of interest. This problem essentially requires inductive learning. Once trained, the model should be able to perform kriging for different locations including newly given ones, without retraining. However, it is challenging to perform accurate kriging results because of the heterogeneous spatial relations and diverse temporal patterns. In this paper, we propose a novel inductive graph representation learning model for spatio-temporal kriging. We first encode heterogeneous spatial relations between the unobserved and observed locations by their spatial proximity, functional similarity, and transition probability. Based on each relation, we accurately aggregate the information of most correlated observed locations to produce inductive representations for the unobserved locations, by jointly modeling their similarities and differences. Then, we design relation-aware gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks to adaptively capture the temporal correlations in the generated sequence representations for each relation. Finally, we propose a multi-relation attention mechanism to dynamically fuse the complex spatio-temporal information at different time steps from multiple relations to compute the kriging output. Experimental results on three real-world datasets show that our proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods consistently, and the advantage is more significant when there are fewer observed locations.

报告摘要:Global Positioning System (GPS) has benefited many novel applications, e.g. , navigation, ride-sharing, and location-based services, in our daily life. Although GPS works well in most places, its performance in urban canyons is well-known poor, due to the signal reflections of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) satellites. Tremendous efforts have been made to mitigate the impacts of NLOS signals, while previous works heavily rely on precise proprietary 3D city models or other third-party resources, which are not easily accessible. In this paper, we present DeepGPS , a deep learning enhanced GPS positioning system that can correct GPS estimations by only considering some simple contextual information. DeepGPS fuses environmental factors, including building heights and road distribution around GPS's initial position, and satellite statuses to describe the positioning context, and exploits an encoder-decoder network model to implicitly learn the complex relationships between positioning contexts and GPS estimations from massive labeled GPS samples. As a result, the well-trained model can accurately predict the correct position for each erroneous GPS estimation given its positioning context. We further improve the model with a novel constraint mask to filter out invalid candidate locations, and enable continuous localization with a simple mobility model. A prototype system is implemented and experimentally evaluated using a large-scale bus trajectory dataset and real-field GPS measurements. Experimental results demonstrate that DeepGPS significantly enhances GPS performance in urban canyons, e.g. , on average effectively correcting 90.1% GPS estimations with accuracy improvement by 64.6%.

报告题目:Multi-UAV Trajectory Optimization for Servicing Dynamic Demands and Charging Battery

论坛讲者:张潇

出处:IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MOBILE COMPUTING

报告摘要:Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology is a promising solution for providing high-quality mobile services (e.g., edge computing, fast Internet connection, and local caching) to ground users, where a UAV with limited service coverage travels among multiple geographical user locations (e.g., hotspots) for servicing their demands locally. How to dynamically determine a UAV swarm's cooperative path planning to best meet many users' spatio-temporally distributed demands is an important question but is unaddressed in the literature. To our best knowledge, this paper is the first to design and analyze cooperative path planning algorithms of a large UAV swarm for optimally servicing many spatial locations, where ground users' demands are released dynamically in the long time horizon. Regarding a single UAV's path planning design, we manage to substantially simplify the traditional dynamic program and propose an optimal algorithm of low computation complexity, which is only polynomial with respect to both the numbers of spatial locations and user demands. After coordinating a large number $K$ of UAVs, this simplified dynamic optimization problem becomes intractable and we alternatively present a fast iterative cooperation algorithm with provable approximation ratio $1-(1-\frac{1}{K})^{K}$ in the worst case, which is proved to obviously outperform the traditional approach of partitioning UAVs to serve different location clusters separately. To relax UAVs' battery capacity limit for sustainable service provisioning, we further allow UAVs to travel to charging stations in the mean time and thus jointly design UAVs' path planning over users' locations and charging stations. Despite of the problem difficulty, for the optimal solution, we successfully transform the problem to an integer linear program by creating novel directed acyclic graph of the UAV-state transition diagram, and propose an iterative algorithm with constant approximation ratio. Finally, we validate the theoretical results by extensive simulations.

报告摘要:Regardless of which community, incentivizing users is a necessity for well-sustainable operations. In the blockchain-backed Web3 communities, known for their transparency and security, airdrop serves as a widespread incentive mechanism for allocating capital and power. However, it remains a controversy on how to justify airdrop to incentive and empower the decentralized governance. In this paper, we use ParaSwap as an example to propose a role taxonomy methodology through a data-driven study to understand the characteristic of community members and the effectiveness of airdrop. We find that users receive more rewards tend to take positive actions towards the community. We summarize several arbitrage patterns and confirm the current detection is not sufficient in screening out airdrop hunters. In conjunction with the results, we discuss from the aspects of interaction, financialization, and system design to conclude the challenges and possible research directions for decentralized communities.

报告摘要:Thanks to the wide bandwidth, large antenna array, and short wavelength, millimeter wave (mmWave) has superior performance in both communication and sensing. Thus, the integration of sensing and communication is a developing trend for the mmWave band. However, the directional transmission characteristics of the mmWave limits the sensing scope to a narrow sector. Existing works coordinate sensing and communication in a time-division manner, which takes advantage of the sector level sweep during the beam training interval for sensing and the data transmission interval for communication. Beam training is a low frequency (e.g., 10Hz) and low duty-cycle event, which makes it hard to track fast movement or perform continuous sensing. Such time-division designs imply that we need to strike a balance between sensing and communication, and it is hard to get the best of both worlds. In this paper, we try to solve this dilemma by exploiting side lobes for sensing. We design Sidense, where the main lobe of the transmitter is directed towards the receiver, while in the meantime, the side lobes can sense the ongoing activities in the surrounding. In this way, sensing and downlink communication work simultaneously and will not compete for hardware and radio resources. In order to compensate for the low antenna gain of side lobes, Sidense performs integration to boost the quality of sensing signals. Due to the uneven side-lobe energy, Sidense also designs a target separation scheme to tackle the mutual interference in multi-target scenarios. We implement Sidense with Sivers mmWave module. Results show that Sidense can achieve millimeter motion tracking accuracy at 6m. We also demonstrate a multi-person respiration monitoring application. As Sidense does not modify the communication procedure or the beamforming strategy, the downlink communication performance will not be sacrificed due to concurrent sensing. We believe that more fascinating applications can be implemented on this concurrent sensing and communication platform.

出处:IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing ( Early Access )

报告摘要:Sign language recognition (SLR) enables hearing-impaired people to better communicate with able-bodied individuals. The diversity of multiple modalities can be utilized to improve SLR. However, existing multimodal fusion methods do not take into account multimodal interrelationships in-depth. This paper proposes SeeSign: a multimodal fusion framework based on statistical attention and contrastive attention for SLR. The designed two attention mechanisms are used to investigate intra-modal and inter-modal correlations of surface Electromyography (sEMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) signals, and fuse the two modalities. Statistical attention uses the Laplace operator and lower quantile to select and enhance active features within each modal feature clip. Contrastive attention calculates the information gain of active features in a couple of enhanced feature clips located at the same position in two modalities. The enhanced feature clips are then fused in their positions based on the gain. The fused multimodal features are fed into a Transformer-based network with connectionist temporal classification and cross-entropy losses for SLR. The experimental results show that SeeSign has accuracy of 93.17% for isolated words, and word error rates of 18.34% and 22.08% on one-handed and two-handed sign language datasets, respectively. Moreover, it outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and robustness.

报告摘要:Recent advances in sensor based human activity recognition (HAR) have exploited deep hybrid networks to improve the performance. These hybrid models combine Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to leverage their complementary advantages, and achieve impressive results. However, the roles and associations of different sensors in HAR are not fully considered by these models, leading to insufficient multi-modal fusion. Besides, the commonly used RNNs in HAR suffer from the 'forgetting' defect, which raises difficulties in capturing long-term information. To tackle these problems, an HAR framework composed of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) fusion block and an applied ConvTransformer subnet is proposed in this paper. Inspired by the complementary filter, our IMU fusion block performs multi-modal fusion of commonly used sensors according to their physical relationships. Consequently, the features of different modalities can be aggregated more effectively. Then, the extracted features are fed into the applied ConvTransformer subnet for classification. Thanks to its convolutional subnet and self-attention layers, ConvTransformer can better capture local features and construct long-term dependencies. Extensive experiments on eight benchmark datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our framework. The source code will be published soon.

报告摘要:Existing contrastive learning methods for anomalous sound detection refine the audio representation of each audio sample by using the contrast between the samples’ augmentations (e.g., with time or frequency masking). However, they might be biased by the augmented data, due to the lack of physical properties of machine sound, thereby limiting the detection performance. This paper uses contrastive learning to refine audio representations for each machine ID, rather than for each audio sample. The proposed two-stage method uses contrastive learning to pretrain the audio representation model by incorporating machine ID and a self-supervised ID classifier to fine-tune the learnt model, while enhancing the relation between audio features from the same ID. Experiments show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods using contrastive learning or self-supervised classification in overall anomaly detection performance and stability on DCASE 2020 Challenge Task2 dataset.

报告摘要:Although deep learning is the mainstream method in unsupervised anomalous sound detection, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) with statistical audio frequency representation as input can achieve comparable results with much lower model complexity and fewer parameters. Existing statistical frequency representations, e.g. the log-Mel spectrogram’s average or maximum over time, do not always work well for different machines. This paper presents Time-Weighted Frequency Domain Representation (TWFR) with the GMM method (TWFR-GMM) for anomalous sound detection. The TWFR is a generalized statistical frequency domain representation that can adapt to different machine types, using the global weighted ranking pooling over time-domain. This allows GMM estimator to recognize anomalies, even under domain-shift conditions, as visualized with a Mahalanobis distance-based metric. Experiments on DCASE 2022 Challenge Task2 dataset show that our method has better detection performance than recent deep learning methods. TWFR-GMM is the core of our submission that achieved the 3rd place in DCASE 2022 Challenge Task2.

报告摘要:Spatio-temporal point process (STPP) is a stochastic collection of events accompanied with time and space. Due to computational complexities, existing solutions for STPPs compromise with conditional independence between time and space, which consider the temporal and spatial distributions separately. The failure to model the joint distribution leads to limited capacities in characterizing the spatio-temporal entangled interactions given past events. In this work, we propose a novel parameterization framework for STPPs, which leverages diffusion models to learn complex spatio-temporal joint distributions. We decompose the learning of the target joint distribution into multiple steps, where each step can be faithfully described by a Gaussian distribution. To enhance the learning of each step, an elaborated spatio-temporal co-attention module is proposed to capture the interdependence between the event time and space adaptively. For the first time, we break the restrictions on spatiotemporal dependencies in existing solutions, and enable a flexible and accurate modeling paradigm for STPPs. Extensive experiments from a wide range of fields, such as epidemiology, seismology, crime, and urban mobility, demonstrate that our framework outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines remarkably. Further in-depth analyses validate its ability to capture spatio-temporal interactions, which can learn adaptively for different scenarios.

报告摘要:Human trajectories, reflecting people’s travel patterns and the range of activities, are crucial for the applications like urban planning and epidemic control. However, the real-world human trajectory data tends to be limited by user privacy or device acquisition issues, leading to its insufficient quality to support the above applications. Hence, generating human trajectory data is a crucial but challenging task, which suffers from the following two critical challenges: 1) how to capture the user distribution in human trajectories (group view), and 2) how to model the complex mobility patterns of each user trajectory (individual view). In this paper, we propose a novel human trajectories generator (named VOLUNTEER), consisting of a user VAE and a trajectory VAE, to address the above challenges. Specifically, in the user VAE, we propose to learn the user distribution with all human trajectories from a group view. In the trajectory VAE, from the individual view, we model the complex mobility patterns by decoupling travel time and dwell time to accurately simulate individual trajectories. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show the superiority of our model over the state-of-the-art baselines. Further application analysis in the industrial system also demonstrates the effectiveness of our model.

报告摘要:The problem of cellular traffic generation in cities without historical traffic data is critical and urgently needs to be solved to assist 5G base station deployments in mobile networks. In this paper, we propose ADAPTIVE, a deep transfer learning framework for city-scale cellular traffic generation through the urban knowledge graph. ADAPTIVE leverages historical data from other cities that have deployed 5G networks to assist cities that are newly deploying 5G networks through deep transfer learning. Specifically, ADAPTIVE can align the representations of base stations in the target city and source city while considering the environmental factors of cities, spatial and environmental contextual relations between base stations, and traffic temporal patterns at base stations. We next design a feature-enhanced generative adversarial network, which is trained based on the historical traffic data and representations of base stations in the source city. By feeding the aligned target city’s base station representations into the trained model, we can then obtain the generated traffic data for the target city. Extensive experiments on real-world cellular traffic datasets show that ADAPTIVE generally outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by more than 40% in terms of Jensen–Shannon divergence and root-mean-square error. Also, ADAPTIVE has strong robustness based on the results of various cross-city experiments. ADAPTIVE has been successfully deployed on the ‘Jiutian’ Artificial Intelligence Platform of China Mobile to support cellular traffic generation and assist in the construction and operation of mobile networks.

报告摘要:Millions of slum dwellers suffer from poor accessibility to urban services due to inadequate road infrastructure within slums, and road planning for slums is critical to the sustainable development of cities. Existing re-blocking or heuristic methods are either timeconsuming which cannot generalize to different slums, or yield sub-optimal road plans in terms of accessibility and construction costs. In this paper, we present a deep reinforcement learning based approach to automatically layout roads for slums. We propose a generic graph model to capture the topological structure of a slum, and devise a novel graph neural network to select locations for the planned roads. Through masked policy optimization, our model can generate road plans that connect places in a slum at minimal construction costs. Extensive experiments on real-world slums in different countries verify the effectiveness of our model, which can significantly improve accessibility by 14.3% against existing baseline methods. Further investigations on transferring across different tasks demonstrate that our model can master road planning skills in simple scenarios and adapt them to much more complicated ones, indicating the potential of applying our model in real-world slum upgrading.

报告摘要:Roadside Unit (RSU) plays an important role in Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) service on the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Due to the limitation of the existing network architecture, the RSU management technology either cannot fulfill the time location-varying service demands or consumes a large number of resource to cover the interested area. To mitigate the gap between the stringent V2X requirements and the limited available resource, a cybertwin-based IoV architecture is proposed to facilitate the RSU management and achieve always-on V2X services. Two types of RSUs, i.e., static RSU (sRSU) and mobile RSU (mRSU), are applied in infrastructure-assisted V2X communications. To evaluate the performance of cybertwin-based RSU deployment and scheduling, the utility maximization problem with coverage constraints is formulated. A three-stage hybrid RSU management strategy is proposed considering the different granularity of service loads. First, sRSUs are deployed to satisfy the basic service demands in different areas. Second, mRSUs are flexibly selected and managed to adapt to real-time variations of service loads. Finally, the RSUs are scheduled based on the real-time load prediction. The case study of Wuxi city illustrates that the proposed solution outperforms the existing strategy in terms of the deployment utility, response ratio, and adaptiveness to demand dynamics.

报告摘要:Modeling and predicting the radio spectrum is vital for spectrum management, such as spectrum sharing and anomaly detection. Nevertheless, the precise spectrum prediction is challenging due to the interference from both intra-spectrum and external factors. To tackle these complex internal and external correlations, we develop a model named TF 2 AN, consisting of three components: 1) a robust signal detection algorithm based on image processing, 2) an attention-based Long Short-term Memory network to capture the temporal-frequency correlations, 3) a generalized fusion module to take the heterogeneous external factors into account. This structure shows prominent effectiveness for spectrum prediction on a single monitoring station with sufficient data. However, when the data derived from a single station is insufficient, the performance of the deep learning model will decline a lot. Considering that more than one monitoring station is deployed in practice, the new challenge becomes how to enhance our model by leveraging the data from multiple stations or frequency bands. Therefore, we further propose T-TF 2 AN, a transfer learning-based framework for data augmentation and knowledge sharing in spectrum prediction. Compared to TF 2 AN, better performance is achieved. Besides, the model interpretability and training efficiency are also discussed with two case studies, respectively.

报告摘要:Due to the particularity of Chinese word formation, the Chinese Named Entity Recognition (NER) task has attracted extensive attention over recent years. Recently, some researchers have tried to solve this problem by using a multimodal method combining acoustic features and text features. However, the text-speech data pairs required by the above methods are lacking in real-world scenarios, making it difficult to apply widely. To address this, we proposed a multimodal Chinese NER method called USAF, which uses synthesized acoustic features instead of actual human speech. USAF aligns text and acoustic features through unique position embeddings and uses a multi-head attention mechanism to fuse the features of the two modalities, which stably improves the performance of Chinese named entity recognition. To evaluate USAF, we implemented USAF on three Chinese NER datasets. Experimental results show that USAF witnesses a stable improvement compare to text-only methods on each dataset, and outperforms SOTA external-vocabulary-based method on two datasets. Specifically, compared to the SOTA external-vocabulary-based method, the F1 score of USAF is improved by 1.84 and 1.24 on CNERTA and Aishell3-NER, respectively.

报告摘要:As a critical infrastructure, the traditional power system has transformed into a cyber-physical integrated smart grid. However, the vulnerabilities exposed in either the cyber or physical layer might be exploited by adversaries to construct complicated and coordinated attacks consequent in destructive impacts. In this paper, we propose a stealthy physics-manipulated attack (SPMA) by masking the physical attacks on the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) with strategic cyberattacks. To construct the SPMA, we first manipulate the control command sent to the FACTS device to change the reactance and then tamper with the sensor measurements to conceal it. The SPMA is constructed with complete-informed and incomplete-informed attackers, noisy sensor measurements, and a nonlinear AC model, respectively. The impact of the physics manipulation on the real-time economic dispatch and the system’s operation security are formulated and numerically analyzed. Furthermore, we also provide potential countermeasures from three aspects to defend against SPMAs. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted with the IEEE test power systems to evaluate the stealthiness of SPMAs and the economic losses and potential cascading failures caused by SPMAs using real-world load profiles.

报告摘要:Malicious nodes attacks pose a great security threat to the multi-sensor networks, especially the fusion result of the fusion center. Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory is a very effective fusion method, but conflict evidences brought by malicious nodes will greatly affect the accuracy of traditional D-S fusion method. Based on the above considerations, this paper adopts an improved D-S evidence theory method, which can intelligently reduce the influence of malicious nodes on the decide results during the fusion process, thereby improving the security of the entire wireless sensor networks. Finally, several examples are carried out on the background of network security situational awareness, which proves the feasibility of the proposed method.

报告题目:Efficient Revenue-based MEC Server Deployment and Management in Mobile Edge-Cloud Computing

论坛讲者:王威, 张永敏

出处:IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking ( Early Access )

报告摘要:With the explosive growth of mobile applications, the development of mobile edge computing (MEC) has been greatly promoted since it can ably improve the quality of service for mobile applications by providing low latency and high-quality computation services. Most existing works focus on improving the efficiency of MEC with an assumption that the MEC servers have already been deployed. However, without appropriate deployment of MEC servers, the profitability of the MEC system can be significantly restrained, which hinders the rapid promotion of the MEC. To address this issue, we formulate an MEC server deployment problem for the MEC operator as a revenue maximization problem. Firstly, we model and analyze the various factors that affect the revenue. Secondly, we formulate a revenue maximization problem, which is NP-hard, but it is proved to be convex with respect to the total available computation units. Based on this feature, we propose a three-layer optimization algorithm, named EDM, in which the location, the deployed computation units, and the wholesaled computation resources are determined gradually, to maximize the total revenue. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed EDM algorithm has significant advantages on revenue improvement compared to competitive benchmarks.

报告题目:Assessing the Traffic Scheduling Method for Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) by Practical Implementation

报告摘要:Time-sensitive networking (TSN), as standardized and maintained by the IEEE 802.1 Task Group, enhances the real-time and deterministic capabilities of the Ethernet. However, traffic scheduling is not standardized, and is being extensively researched. Most studies are theoretical in nature; practical validation studies are rare. To fill this gap, we first constructed a real-world TSN-based process automation system and presented fine-grained guidelines regarding how a traffic scheduling method (TSM) can be deployed in industrial facilities. We experimentally investigated the feasibility of our method, and compared its performance to that of a commercial TSN scheduler. The results show that our method precisely schedules traffic to satisfy firm real-time requirements and achieves ultra-low latency by eliminating the queuing delays. The scheduling calculation times for 500 random cases show that our TSM can appropriately schedule flows in milliseconds, more than 571-fold faster than the commercial scheduler.

报告摘要:The security problems of smart contracts have drawn extensive attention due to the enormous financial losses caused by vulnerabilities. Existing methods on smart contract vulnerability detection heavily rely on fixed expert rules, leading to low detection accuracy. In this paper, we explore using graph neural networks (GNNs) for smart contract vulnerability detection. Particularly, we construct a contract graph to represent both syntactic and semantic structures of a smart contract function. To highlight the major nodes, we design an elimination phase to normalize the graph. Then, we propose a degree-free graph convolutional neural network (DR-GCN) and a novel temporal message propagation network (TMP) to learn from the normalized graphs for vulnerability detection. Extensive experiments show that our proposed approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in detecting three different types of vulnerabilities.
